How did the boy with the scar on his forehead change the wizarding world? Find out in the first Harry Potter book. It has allowed millions of children to open the door to Hogwarts Castle, a world of wizardry and true friendship.
"Harry Potter and the Sorcerer's Stone" is the story of eleven-year-old Harry, who suddenly discovers that he is a wizard. The boy's childhood was difficult, but everything changes when he departs from Platform 9¾ for a school of magic. There, the hero encounters potions classes, spells, owls, a Quidditch match, a magic mirror, and, of course, meets Ron, Hermione, Hagrid, and Professor Albus Dumbledore. The story is not without its mysteries: what is the secret of the Sorcerer's Stone, and who is Lord Voldemort?
J.K. Rowling's book became a global bestseller, sold millions of copies, was translated into dozens of languages, and changed the perception of children's literature. Bloomsbury Publishing believed in the story and gave it a chance, even though it had been rejected several times at first. More than 25 years have passed since then, yet Harry Potter remains the most recognizable person in the world of wizards and Muggles.
This is not just a fairy tale, but an inspiring story about choice, loyalty, and courage. It is interesting to both children and adults.
If you haven't been to Hogwarts yet or want to return, it's high time to start your journey from the wax-sealed letter to your house. The illustrations are by Jim Kay. Thanks to his drawings, the words take on memorable forms.
Rowling J.K.
